Stay Healthy During This Cold and Flu Season!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"flu\"<\/span><\/p>\n

This time of year is common for sickness. The Flu this year in Georgia is particularly dangerous. . This strand of flu affects young people and children more than older adults. . Fox news reported many people in Georgia have already been hospitalized with the flu. If you haven’t gotten a flu shot, you still have time. A flu shot does not give you the flu! This is a myth. Actually, with a flu shot you have a 70% less chance of getting the flu. <\/span>http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/flu\/<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0I got mine this year! You can go to any CVS, Kroger, Publix or Walgreens stores to purchase a flu shot. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some great tips to help keep you healthy and happy while you are here in the USA! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Eat five servings of fruits and vegetables each day.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"heart<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Drink at least four glasses of water each day.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Have three good laughs each day. This keeps your immune system primed!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Jo,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Limit computer, TV or phone texting time to less than two hours each day. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"texting.\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Get one hour of physical activity each day.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Get eight of more hours of sleep. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Host families are usually very supportive of an au pair who gets sick. However, if you are staying up late, going out a lot and generally not taking care of yourself, their reaction may be different.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t forget to wash your hands. Say the alphabet song or count to 26. This is how long you must wash to ” wash” away a flu bug.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Wash your hands after being\u00a0out in public places.\u00a0\u00a0 \"germs<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Have your school age children wash their hands when arriving home from school. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you part to keep yourself healthy. This will help to make your au pair stay in the USA the best it can be! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
